Relay Dilemma
I've purchased the angle-tip, after market relay puller which doesn't do much of a better job (for lack of reach) than pliers for most of the relays. I'm not sure what I could do short of destroying the larger relays, such as the headlamp relays, where they to need removing.
Question:
1) does anyone have an extra used "Porsche" Relay puller for the standard sized relays? Price?
2) Will the Porsche relay puller extract the big relays, and if not, then how can this be done without destroying them? (I've got a pile of too many shells as it is! ;-)
Thanks,
Mike

Use one of the paint can openers that look like a church-key bottle opener - they're free at Lowes. It's got a little hook that works great for lifting the relay without destroying the cover. As a safety, I would disconnect the battery to prevent accidental bridging of connectors.

I can now say final words over the little graveyard of relay shells ...RIP
